Han Xu walked into the hall and stood in front of the map, looking at Huainan Road without moving for a long time.
Zhang An and Wang Lin took the initiative to break the silence.
"Sir, the victory on Huainan Road is really great."
"If Huainan Road is stable, Jiangnan Road will also be stable."
"If it weren't for the reinforcements from Huainan Road this time, Jiangling Mansion wouldn't be able to resolve the crisis so easily."
"If Jiangling Mansion is lost, Jiangnan Road will be finished, and then we, Shannan, will be in danger."
They sang and praised each other. Han Xu understood what they meant, but still did not speak and only looked at the map.
"Sir." After a look of rejection, Wang Lin walked around to the map and said, "The troops and horses in Jiangnan Road cannot be withdrawn."
The crisis in Jiangling Mansion was relieved, the four guards of Jiangnan Road gathered again, and Huainan Road was recovered. When good news came, Han Xu suddenly asked Jiannan Road to withdraw his troops.
This is not possible. The safety of Jiangnan Road is related to Shannan Road, and the soldiers and horses of Shannan Road are not used. This kind of good thing does not happen often. Zhang An and Wang Lin immediately came to find them.
"I know there are many reinforcements on Jiangnan Road." Zhang An also came around and said, "The Southeast Road and Huainan Road are both famous."
"But the Southeast Road is fighting against Ande Zhong, and the Huainan Road has just repelled the rebels." Wang Lin said, "They are in a difficult situation themselves, and it is extremely rare to be able to divide their troops to provide assistance. We cannot leave this matter to them."
"Today's war is not a matter of one city or one government. It is related to the overall situation of Daxia." Zhang An said sincerely, "I know that your Excellency is worried about the shortage of troops and horses in Jiannan Road. Please rest assured, we in Shannanxi will definitely guard Jiannan Road."
.”
How could Han Xu not understand this truth? Han Xu looked at the map and still didn't speak. In fact, he didn't listen to these two people at all. Now he only thought about Mrs. Chu.
Why is this woman so...
Even if I curse in my heart, I can't bear to say it. After all, this woman did something heroic and beneficial to the country and the people.
Although her motives were impure! Han Xu was angry and helpless.
What made him angry was that the woman made no bones about it and advertised everywhere that she was sending troops for Han Xu, but what was helpless was that he couldn't refuse the troops.
He was no stranger to this method. There used to be a ditch in front of his residence in the capital. The mud had not been cleaned for many years. It was smelly and dangerous. Children drowned here every year. Then the widow paid a large sum of money to clean the ditch.
The whole street was in a sensation, everyone was thanking him...
What can he do? Can he stop it? Looking at the smiling faces of the people and children, he can't even express his temper and can only stay behind closed doors.
But at that time, the widow did not publicize that it was for him, although everyone knew that it was for him.
This Mrs. Wu! Is the martial woman arrogant?
Han Xu took a deep breath in front of the map and turned around.
Zhang An and Wang Lin were interrupted, but they were not discouraged and turned around.
"...I know that Mr. Li San has written to the young governor, urging the troops to come back as soon as possible."
"What's the reason why he wants his troops to go back? To protect his family? The Li family's hometown is Jiangling Mansion, and if he wants to protect it, he also protects Jiangling Mansion."
"Sir, please don't worry. Mrs. Li lives in our Shannan Road. We will take care of her and make them feel at home so that they don't feel homesick."
"When Jiangling Mansion in Jiangnan Road is stable, Mrs. Li can just go home. Why travel a long way to Jiannan Road."
"Jianling Prefecture has soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road, and is surrounded by the Qi Governor of Shannan Southeast, Huainan Road. It is more stable than Jiannan Road."
The sound went in and out of Han Xu's left ear and out the right ear. Master Li San? Master Li San was never in his eyes, and there was no need to pay attention to the noisy writing.
Han Xu frowned.
This Mrs. Wu is still a wife. She is so unscrupulous and not afraid of Governor Wu... But Han Xu also understands that any woman who dares to do this is not afraid of her husband at all.
Those women in the capital who dared to touch him at the beginning either had a net worth that could buy ten husbands, or they came from a wealthy family and their parents were powerful. As long as the husband had this wife, it was enough, and the rest did not matter.
Isn’t that what Mrs. Wu is like?
When troubled times come, women with money and family background disappear from everyone, but women with military skills emerge!
Displacement in troubled times is a nightmare for people, but it is also an opportunity for some people. Wu Ya'er is an example. This man suddenly rose to prominence as a soldier in Mobei, and so did his wife.
Mrs. Wu did not rely on her husband, but raised her own soldiers and horses, fighting and making great achievements all the way until she now controls Huainan Road.
The court dare not underestimate her, and her husband cannot underestimate her either.
What's more, she didn't do anything. It was just that the Great Xia Guards were in trouble. She sent the guards to help. Even if she said it was for him when she sent the troops, Han Xu gritted his teeth. Mrs. Wu was not only Mrs. Wu, she was also consecrated by the imperial court.
Mrs. Chu, with her rank and salary, will be able to stand side by side with Han Xu when she goes to court... as a colleague.
It is reasonable for colleagues to help colleagues.
Han Xu exhaled and interrupted the noise in his ears: "You don't need to say anything."
Zhang An and Wang Lin stopped and looked at him, a little nervous and apprehensive. Have you convinced him?
"The soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road will not be withdrawn." Han Xu said, "We have to send more soldiers and horses to let the soldiers and horses from Huainan Road go back. They also need manpower there, no need..."
When he said the first sentence, Zhang An and Wang Lin had already clapped their hands in admiration, and there was no need to listen to the rest of his words.
"My lord is wise!"
After admiring, the two of them bowed and thanked him again.
"Your Majesty's move is to benefit Shannan Road and Jiangnan Road."
Although he was used to the behavior of these two people, they talked more and more this time. Han Xu frowned and looked at them and said: "Everyone is responsible for countering the rebellion. This is for Daxia."
Zhang An Wang Lin Surong responded yes.
Zhang An took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, sir, we can't help with anything else." For example, the soldiers and horses of Shannan Road are absolutely not allowed to help. "We must take good care of Mrs. Li."
Wang Lin added: "Master Li San is the uncle of Little Governor Li and the son of Mrs. Li."
Mr. Li San wants to give instructions to Little Governor Li, and Mrs. Li can also discipline his son.
They will persuade Mrs. Li to come forward and shut up Mr. Li San, so that Han Xu can smoothly mobilize the troops in Jiannan Road.
There is no need for this kind of stay-at-home tactics in military affairs. In his eyes, Mr. Li San is just a stay-at-home wife. Are these two guys worth taking seriously?
They didn't really take Mr. Li San seriously, they just did some lively but useless things to express their sincerity.
Han Xu has seen many such officials.
They wanted to use him, and he wanted to use them.
Han Xu nodded: "Then I'll help you."
Zhang An and Wang Lin repeatedly said that what we didn’t do was all due to the hard work of the adults, etc. Han Xu reluctantly treated them politely, and then drove them away on the grounds that they had to deal with some letters.
Zhang An and Wang Lin walked to the outside of the corridor before stopping and looking back. From the open door and window, you can see Han Xu sitting in front of the desk writing...
Zhang An looked solemn and asked in a low voice: "Who does Mr. Han want to write to?"
Wang Lin looked respectfully and replied in a deep voice: "Of course she is Mrs. Chu."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, paused respectfully, laughed silently, their eyebrows flew wildly in laughter, and bumped each other's arms to signal the other to stop laughing.
"We really have good intentions." Zhang Andao said, "We talked about truth and justice, and persuaded Mr. Han to bear the humiliation and bear the burden for the country and the people, so that Mr. Han could have reasonable dealings with Mrs. Chu."
Wang Lin smiled tightly and pretended to be serious: "It is what we should do to safeguard Mr. Han's innocence."
The two met again and laughed. Zhang An was still alert, and when he saw someone approaching, he hurriedly pulled Wang Lin. The two straightened their expressions, and the person walked in.
"Two adults." The visitor saluted.
Zhang An recognized him as Li Mingyu's attendant and asked, "The governor is looking for Mr. Han?"
The attendant responded: "The Governor asked me to come and see if your Excellency is free, and I want to discuss some matters."
Wang Linsurong said: "It's better to wait a moment, Mr. Han is busy."
Are you busy? What can you be busy with? Compared with the governor's affairs, they are all trivial matters. The attendant hesitated and looked inward...
Zhang An blocked his view: "The war is going on right now, and it is related to the safety of Jiangnan Road. The court is also anxious to hear the news."
It was a matter for the imperial court, so the attendant no longer persisted and retreated in response.
Zhang An and Wang Lin looked at each other, admired each other, and laughed together again.
.....
.....
Han Xu saw Zhang An and Wang Lin through the window, pecking each other like chickens and ducks at the entrance of the courtyard. He didn't need to guess what they were chirping at.
His face darkened again, and he lowered his head to look at the letter he was about to write on the table.
The letter is written to Mrs. Chu...
What can he do? Reject reinforcements? scold the Chu State’s wife? Doesn’t this mean that he is ignoring Jiangnan Road? He is ignoring the war situation in Daxia?
Han Xu closed his eyes and clenched the pen in his hand.
For the sake of Daxia, for the stability of the war situation, and for the sake of the common people, what if he endured some rumors and said that the woman was frivolous?
